Pet care experience

So excited to care for your dog 🩷

Hi! I’m Jillian ☺️ I’ve been caring for dogs for the past 25 years and it’s something I’ve loved doing throughout all seasons of my life! I have experience in caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I love going for walks or playing fetch just as much as I love relaxing and giving pets. Getting to know a dog and creating a relationship with them is one of my greatest joys. My senior dog, Fitzgerald, passed last year. I loved him with my entire heart; he was my best buddy! Although I’m not ready to have another pup of my own quite yet, I deeply miss having a dog around. Doing Rover and being able to care for dogs is my way of sharing all of that love I have to give!

Safety, trust & environment

Every pet deserves personalized attention, so whether that’s a longer walk and some cuddles after or a shorter walk and more cuddles, I’m happy to adjust to whatever your dog prefers. Communication with you is of the utmost importance to me; you know your dog better than anyone! I’m more than happy to meet you and your dog before we spend time alone with one another.

Jillian is one of the most caring, trustworthy, and attentive dog people I know. She's sensitive to the specific needs of every dog I've seen her watch, and she's able to make them feel comfortable and part of the family, especially when their family isn't around. Jillian is also my wife, and we had a miniature schnauzer named Fitz who we got as a senior dog and lived out an amazing 6+ years with us. Watching other people's cherished pets has brought her a lot of joy since he left us, and I'm sure she'll be able to take care of your furry friend.

I wholeheartedly recommend Jillian to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets. She is one of the kindest, most compassionate people I know and has a genuine love for animals. Jillian always puts their comfort, safety, and happiness first, and she treats every pet with the same love and attention she would give her own. Her patience, gentle nature, and dedication make her someone you can completely trust. Any pet would be lucky to be in her care, and any pet owner can feel confident knowing their furry family member is in the best hands.

There are very few people I would trust with my dogs without hesitation, and she is at the very top of the list. I’ve always known her to be a dog lover, but watching her care for her sweet Schnauzer, Fitz, showed me just how extraordinary she is. She adopted him later in life and gave him the most incredible home. Every decision she made came from a place of love. She was unbelievably attentive to his health, especially his stomach issues, and often noticed the smaller changes before they became bigger concerns. She advocated for him, cared for him with endless patience, and made sure he always felt safe, comfortable, and loved. Watching the way she cared for Fitz left such an impression on me. It wasn’t just that she loved him - it was the thoughtfulness, compassion, and dedication she brought to every single day of his life. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, you won’t find anyone better. She has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know, and I have complete confidence that every pet in her care will be loved, protected, and cared for as if they were her own.

Jillian is a caring soul with a huge heart and endless love for animals. She has cared for her own pets throughout her life, including most recently a wonderful senior dog. She also helped care for our family dog and has supported our foster dogs as well. I have witnessed her ability to take care of others' pets too which she thoroughly enjoys. I would trust Jillian implicitly to love, care for, walk, snuggle, and play with any pet friend! She will treat them as her own. :)

I work from home, so my schedule is super flexible. I am available most hours throughout the work week, and I’m happy to move some things around to be able to keep to a dog’s specific schedule. I am also available on weekends!

Communication is key, and I want the experience shared between your dog and I to be as wonderful as possible! Please let me know any medications they’re taking, feeding schedule, and social do’s and don’t’s. It’s important to know who their vet is, too!
